Today’s Explosive Yet Truly Morbid Fact!

An Amish woman doing laundry in a pot over an open flame in Pennsylvania’s Indiana County died when she caused an explosion with kerosene.  Ella Miller, 32, threw kerosene on the fire Monday (May 30, 2011) to increase the heat, causing an explosion that caught her clothes on fire.  Miller sustained first, second and third-degree burns and was treated with home remedies. Miller developed an infection and died Wednesday of septicemia and severe thermal burns.  She is survived by her husband and six children.
